Service Info

Timing is everything

One of the things we pride ourselves on is our quick turnaround time for repairs. Many minor repairs can be done while you wait, and lots of others can be ready for you within 24 hours. Even if your bike repair requires ordering parts, we can usually get stuff for you within a couple days.

Don’t live on the island? Call ahead and make an appointment. We will work on your bike while you wander around Bainbridge, go to Seattle for the afternoon, or hang out in the store.

Electric-assist bike owners need to be patient. Many of the replacement parts for Ebikes require ground shipping, and major suppliers are in Canada, so border customs are a factor.

While we do work on bikes purchased elsewhere, and will build bikes or install parts that you purchase over the internet, please show us some courtesy. Bringing in your own replacement parts for us to use during the course of a tune up is tacky. Shopping for parts at our store, buying them online, and then bringing them in for us to install is really insulting. Please don’t do it. Our prices are fair, and reflect the costs of running a bike shop where we live. Trying to avoid sales tax? Please keep in mind that sales tax helps pay for the infrastructure and services that we all use.
